SFTP cables typically feature a layer of braided shielding around the individual twisted pairs of wires. This braided shield is usually made of a conductive material such as aluminum or copper. The braided shield forms a protective barrier around the twisted pairs, acting as a barrier against external electromagnetic fields.
In addition to the braided shielding, SFTP cables also incorporate a layer of foil shielding underneath the braided shield. This foil shielding is usually made of a thin, metallic material and is wrapped around each individual twisted pair. The foil shield provides an additional layer of protection against EMI and RFI, helping to block out unwanted signals.
The twisted pair construction itself contributes to interference reduction. The pairs of wires are twisted together in a specific manner, which helps cancel out electromagnetic interference that may affect the signals carried by the wires. This inherent noise cancellation is present in both UTP and SFTP cables.
The shielding layers in SFTP cables are often grounded, which means they are connected to a ground reference point. This grounding helps to divert and dissipate any unwanted electromagnetic energy that the shielding absorbs, further protecting the internal wires from interference.
The multiple layers of shielding in SFTP cables also contribute to overall insulation. This insulation not only prevents external interference from affecting the internal signals but also reduces the chances of the cable itself emitting electromagnetic radiation that could interfere with other nearby devices.
By combining braided and foiled shielding with the twisted pair design and grounding, SFTP cables create a robust shield against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. This makes them particularly suitable for environments where interference is a concern, such as industrial settings or areas with a high density of electronic devices.
